NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 475: Win Tianwang Mountain!
The commentator analyzed: "In this case, the Lakers have lost three main players, and the Warriors have lost Pachulia and Thompson, both of whom are short of major generals, but the Lakers' situation is obviously more serious!"

Commentator: "This is not necessarily true. After George hit a three-pointer, there were additional free throws. With three free throws and one throw, the Lakers can lead by at least 14 points and still have the ball. As a superstar, Xue Liancheng, with this score I think there are certain advantages to leading the team alone.”

Host: "Yes! I guess the Lakers fans at the scene thought the same way, so they didn't continue to make trouble."

After all, the Lakers now have an absolute score advantage. Lakers fans still hope that the game will continue. If there is a rematch, they will suffer a big loss.

As the referee's whistle sounded, Xue Liancheng stood on the free throw line and replaced George's 3+1 free throw.

No doubt, a solid hit.

Then he made three free throws in a row, and still hit them steadily. His open shots received a 20% bonus. It plays a big role here.

in this way.

The score became 55:41. In this round, the Lakers scored 7 points in a row, but the price they paid was that George was gone.

Lakers fans felt particularly sad and angry, but Warriors fans felt so aggrieved. Counting the extra penalties, it was already four free throws and one throw. This was a black whistle!
Anyway, they are not satisfied with the result.

And the game continues.

The lineups of both sides have also undergone huge changes.

For the Lakers, without George, Randle, and Courtney Lee, for some unknown reason, Mike Brown did not play Clarkson, but fished Joe Johnson out of the deep end of the bench. .

In addition, Glenn Robinson has also entered people's field of vision with his strong defense.

Randall's vacancy was filled by James Johnson.

The Lakers' lineup has become Xue Liancheng, Joe Johnson, Glenn Robinson, James Johnson, and Zubac.

On the Warriors' side, Thompson and Pachulia were expelled, and they completely switched to a smaller lineup.

Curry, Clark, Livingston, Iguodala, Durant.

Except for Livingston and Durant, no one is 200cm tall, and Livingston is only 201cm. With such a height in the lineup, you can imagine how much defensive pressure there is.

But the advantage of this lineup is that it is extremely offensive.

Needless to say, Curry and Durant, Clark is very accurate in three-pointers this season and has great energy in attacking the basket.

Iguodala is an important point in pass-cut coordination.

Livingston is known as the little prince of CIC, but in fact his organizational ability is seriously underestimated.

This kind of lineup structure can be said to be born for offense.

of course.

In other words, the Warriors have no one available.

Thompson, Green, and Pachulia are the starting lineup of the Warriors. Their importance is self-evident, especially their role on the defensive end. As a result, all three of them were eliminated, which meant that the Warriors' defensive system collapsed across the board.

So they had to speed up, give up defense, and go all out to attack the Lakers.

But the Lakers obviously don't think so.

They have the best offensive organization in the league, and their offense doesn't need to worry at all.

Playing Joe Johnson may be to increase organizational points and ball-handling points, while playing Glenn Robinson and James Johnson is definitely for defense.

Mike Brown obviously feels that defense is as important as offense.

After the free throw, the Lakers still had the ball.

After Xue Liancheng received the ball, he stretched out his hand to stabilize it, and then waved for Zubac to come out for a pick-and-roll.

After a season of training, the quality of Zubac's pick-and-roll screens has improved a lot, and his passing skills have also improved significantly.

In this round, after Zubac helped block the opponent, he immediately turned around and went downhill.

The Warriors may have anticipated this, and Clark came up to help defend.

pity.

The height difference is too much.

After Xue Liancheng came in, he threw a high ball. Zubac easily pushed the ball into the basket. Clark was desperately defending, but he seemed to have no defense.

That's the benefit of having height.

of course.

The disadvantages are also obvious.

The Warriors quickly served and began to rush forward. The impact was so fast that Zubac obviously couldn't keep up.

With the Warriors' quick transition, Iguodala also scored one.

Next.

The two sides continued in this high-speed offensive rhythm.

The presence of Zubac makes the Lakers' pick-and-roll offense quite unsolvable.

of course.

Sometimes they are flanked, leading to mistakes.

but.

When the Warriors fail to make timely fast break transitions and fall into a positional battle, Zubac can effectively protect the frame and has a huge rebounding advantage.

Warriors don't have these things.

Moreover, their touch was not that good, so the two sides remained in a stalemate with a score difference between 12 and 16 until halftime.

The second half.

Both sides also failed to come up with effective solutions to solve the problem.

The main thing is that the lineup has too many flaws.

Except for Xue Liancheng, the other four main players of the Lakers are gone. How can they change the lineup? How to change tactics? How to focus specifically?

The Warriors are no different. In addition to Curry and Durant, they are also missing most of the starting lineup. The defensive end is almost full of loopholes and cannot be defended.

Until the fourth quarter, Curry suddenly went berserk and hit two three-pointers in a row, narrowing the point difference to 2 points in one fell swoop.

pity.

The Warriors' defense is really bad.

Xue Liancheng immediately cooperated with his teammates and easily scored an unexpected air cut, bringing the point difference back to 11 points.

The commentator looked at it and shook his head: "There is no way for the Warriors to continue like this. They have no way to guard people."

Commentator: "Thompson, Green, and Pachulia are all gone. Their defensive system has collapsed. If the Warriors want to win, the only way is to attack with all their strength. On the other hand, the Lakers, as long as Xue Liancheng is still there, their offensive system will be No problem, how to play is still how to play, the only impact may be that Xue Liancheng faces increased defensive pressure, but for the two FMVPs, these are small scenes, and the Lakers' defense does not rely on individuals, Mike - Brown's structure is still very successful in this regard. Of course, the individual defensive capabilities of Glenn Robinson and James Johnson are absolutely online, and they are more than enough to deal with Curry and Durant."

Host: "Yes, the Warriors did not take advantage on both offense and defense. If they fall again, the big score will be 1:3. Even if the Warriors have a full lineup, they may not be able to escape from Xue Liancheng. God, I believe no one will doubt Xue’s strength.”

The voice just fell.

Cole seemed to hear it and immediately called a timeout.

Then, McGee was sent.

The host was stunned on the spot, "What's going on? If we don't go all out to attack now, how long will it take?"

The commentator smiled and asked: "Is it possible that McGee is playing just to attack?"

Host: "Huh?"

The commentator explained: "Although McGee is an inside player, he has excellent athletic ability and amazing explosive power. He is definitely a good player in the pick-and-roll. Since he can't open up the outside, it's better to go to McGee and try to see if he can open up the penalty area."

The host smiled awkwardly: "It turns out that was Cole's plan."

After McGee came up, the Warriors' offense became much smoother.

On the defensive end, McGee has no problem matching Zubac during this period.

Zubac can no longer hold up the sky with one pillar, and the impact on the Lakers is quite large. At this point, it is considered semi-waste. The pick-and-roll effect of Xue Liancheng and Zubac is directly cut in half.

But Xue Liancheng's invincible vision is definitely not just talk. He can still use his sharp breakthroughs to break through the Warriors' defense.

Especially pulling on McGee and breaking McGee's defensive frame at the basket. Sometimes, he would even name McGee and focus on McGee's mentality.

After all, McGee's shortcoming is well known to everyone, and that is his bad mentality.

There are also too many mistakes. You can't dribble while standing while holding the ball, and your dribbling is easily interrupted.

These are all points he can take advantage of.

Halfway through the fourth quarter.

The Lakers still lead the Warriors by 106 points at 196:10.

Although Curry and Durant played occasionally, it was not enough to turn the game around, because when you score, the Lakers also score. You can't stop the Lakers from scoring, and your scoring efficiency is not much higher than that of the Lakers.

The two sides kept grinding away at the double-digit point difference until the last two minutes.

The Warriors were obviously a little anxious, and their movements started to get louder again, and the Lakers are not vegetarians either. Your movements are big, and I am bigger than you.

James Johnson and McGee both received technical fouls.

When the game lasted 1 minute and 20 seconds, Xue Liancheng dribbled forward, looked up at the scoreboard showing 114:105, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Just after halftime, he stretched out his hand to signal.

The Lakers players were stunned for a moment, did not dare to hesitate, and quickly pressed towards the bottom corners.

When the commentator saw this formation, his eyelids jumped wildly, "Is Xue Liancheng going to end the game?"

Commentator: “This pressing time is normal.”

Commentator: "If it were anyone else, it would definitely be to press time, but here with Xue Liancheng, it would be to close the game. I have commented on six Lakers games this season, and in four of them, Xue Liancheng was in the last two minutes of the game. He stretched out his hand to signal his teammates to pull away, and then he shot a three-pointer."

Four of the six games were done this way, and everyone would have a first impression.

Lakers fans are very clear about Xue Liancheng's game habits. Seeing this kind of formation, all of them stood up immediately, and the scene was boiling.

As Xue Liancheng's old rivals, all the Warriors players, including Iguodala, Livingston, and even Curry and Cole, their eyelids immediately jumped when they saw Lakers players stretching the corner from both sides.

They faced Xue Liancheng in singles, which was a deep-rooted fear.

Cole stared back and forth on the sidelines, opening his mouth to shout, but he had to swallow the words again.

Attack in advance?

That's basically no different than giving away points.

Although the Lakers players are divided into two sides, they do not stand still. They will observe the situation and there will be people on both sides passing through the baseline.

As soon as you double attack, the player in the opposite corner will definitely start running, and then a person will be exposed. This is almost a suicidal way.

of course.

If it were someone else, it would be possible to take advantage of mobility and succeed.

But not here in Xue Liancheng.

Xue Liancheng's passing was accurate and ruthless, and his timing was really superb. He basically never missed a ball.

And if not double-teamed?

Xue Liancheng really kills people.

But then again, even if you double-team him, his three-point shot will still kill people.

He was able to make shots despite being forced by others, which was very disappointing.

and so.

Cole was like an ant on a hot pot at this time, anxious, but unable to do anything.

It felt like a death row prisoner on the execution ground, with the fear of death in his eyes.

Time passed by minute by minute.

To say that the person who panics the most, it must be Iguodala.

For him, time was simply torture.

When time enters running seconds.

Xue Liancheng moved.

Everyone subconsciously held their breath.

Then he saw Xue Liancheng rush forward, one step outside the three-point line.

Sudden.

Up!
The kind that comes up when you talk about it.

Iguodala actually knew that Xue Liancheng would shoot, but he would still subconsciously retreat when faced with Xue Liancheng's sudden advance.

Then he watched helplessly as Xue Liancheng took off and took action.

At last.

A swish sound came.

My heart went cold.

The scene was like a volcano erupting, bursting into cheers.

Everyone knew that Xue Liancheng would take action.

Everyone knows that Xue Liancheng can score.

But in the end, when I saw the ball hitting the ball, my heart was still in turmoil.

Commentator: "Fake...I just said that Xue Liancheng is coming and he is going to win the game."

Commentator: "Really strong and always trustworthy at critical moments. Xue Liancheng is definitely a key scorer at a historical level."

Host: "With Xue Liancheng's situation, this game is probably about to end."

Look back.

Durant scored hard and barely held his ground.

But it's no use.

After Xue Liancheng pushed him over, it was time to suffer death again.

But this time it was Durant to defend.

It is estimated that Cole hopes to use Durant's height and wingspan to cause greater interference to Xue Liancheng.

But the problem is, no one can defend against it!

As long as he doesn't block the shot on the spot, basically no one can stop him.

It's still the same old move, press the countdown, and Xue Liancheng starts to charge forward.

Still paused at the three-point line, Durant immediately pointed it out.

Then he took action calmly.

Three points.

Hit again!

At this moment, the blood of all the warriors ran cold.

This ball killed their only hope. The Warriors were stunned on the spot and had completely lost the spirit to fight.

finally.

The Lakers defeated the Golden State Warriors 123:109 and scored another victory.

The big score came to 3:1.

This result is really unimaginable!

In terms of paper strength, the Warriors are definitely No. 1 in the league, far ahead of other teams. They are considered the holders of the championship, while other teams are just challengers.

As a result, we fell behind 1:3!

It's really hard to believe, it feels like a dream.

But it is an ironclad fact.

As the referee blew the final whistle, Portapos turned into a sea of ​​joy.

They once thought that after Kobe left, they would need a long rebuilding period.

result.

The Lakers turned around and successfully rebuilt.

Now, they are only one step away from the Western Conference Finals. The only thing that makes people feel uneasy is George's injury.

If George is seriously injured, the situation will change drastically.

If George can recover, it will be easy for the Lakers to win the championship.
